My research interests lie in understanding the molecular mechanisms of
endocytosis and endocytic and recycling traffics. It is known that the
molecular requirements that drive endocytosis and its subsequent traffics in
the budding yeast are identical to those required for the protrusion of
motile, metastatic cancer cells. Therefore, functional characterization of
the above-mentioned molecular requirements in yeast might help shed light on
the mechanism responsible for cancer cell motility and may providing
alternative drug targets.
